The Florida Keys is one of our favorite destinations and we have 2 tours that bring guests from Key West and South Florida to this tropical destination. Here are a few photos of customers we had recently, the one family was from Chicago and purchased  the Swimming with the Dolphins Key West Tour, which is where we pick up from any hotel or B&B in Key West and bring them to the upper keys for the dolphin program. We picked up this family from the Orchid Inn which they really enjoyed their stay here and had a great time with the dolphins too.

Key West Tour

Next, was the Swimming with the Dolphins Key Largo tour where we pick up with our van in South Florida and bring them down to the Florida Keys. This family was from Germany, mother and daughter, and we picked them up at the famous Westin Hollywood Diplomat.  The mother of this family use to come to the original Diplomat in Hollywood when she was a little girl, so this was a special vacation for her because she got to  stay at the Diplomat again and swim with dolphins too.

Both families had a fun time in the Florida Keys. Thank you.

You may be looking for a special needs program and here is video from a Dolphin Facility in Key Largo. You can see how the handler and this special needs child interact with the dolphins. It is very touchy and may bring you to tears.

You may want to check out Island Dolphin Care that does this in Key Largo. Go to: Dolphin Places for more information.

What do you think of the video? Do you agree with this therapy for a special needs child?

Here is a video of one our best customers, Lori and Eddie, they have done this 3 times, where they have taken our tour to the Key Largo area to swim with the dolphins.

We always have a blast with them because they are excited to be with the dolphins as we are happy to bring them there to experience this again. Dolphins and Whales are one of their favorite animals, as they only swim the dolphins in Key Largo ever few years, they go on a whale watch every year off the coast of Massachusetts.

Here is their video…

To help view the video better, remember to play, then pause, let the video load, then play again.

Hi All,

I saw this News Release about this young artist, 13 year old, Guy Snell, who did a marine life mural on the side of a local business in Key Largo.  His mentor is Wyland, a world famous Marine Life artist.

You need to read this story of how the two became friends and now the 13 year old is off and running with his own Marine Life art business.

Its a pretty cool story.  Read More >>>

If you are going to Swim with the Dolphins Key Largo area, you might want to stop in and see Guy’s mural for yourself.

Can anyone out there add more to the story? Maybe someone from Key Largo?
God Bless,
John

Hi there,

We get so many calls and request for this, Dolphin Assisted Therapy, but unfortunately we handle special needs persons only on a limited basis, most people, especially children, need special care.  We wrote a story about this subject and gave you a successful and well known Dolphin facility that can help you in Key Largo.

This special needs, swim with the dolphin program in Key Largo, is geared to help those that can not do or need more help then a regular dolphin swim can give a particular individual. Usually a special needs person, needs a certified trainer or instructor in the water with them and can give them one on one time  with them and the dolphins.  This program has the care that someone with autism or handicapped needs.
